In this beautiful and deeply practical episode, Mike & Courtney dive into what real love actually looks like when your partner’s wounds arise.

This isn’t the version of love that’s about fixing, bypassing, or spiritualizing your way out of conflict. This is about creating a sacred container where both partners can show up in their humanity—and meet each other’s imprints with presence, compassion, and regulation.

💡 You’ll learn:

• How to recognize the imprint beneath the behavior

• The difference between staying present vs. absorbing pain

• Why sacred relationship is a powerful container for healing trauma

• How to move through triggers with curiosity instead of collapse

• Practical tools for creating safety in the storm
